Is it possible to generate alerts if the F5 pools or servers shown in the Network view of an F5 node go up/down? I see there is an F5 property monitor category but it doesn't seem to include any of those options.
This is something we are working on and it should be available in a forthcoming major version.
There's no way to access it now? I assume the values you see are written to the database, which the alerts can access? If not, any thoughts on the best way to currently monitor F5 load balancers, node, pool, and VIP statuses?
Wow, apparently I wasn't the only one trying to figure out how to alert on F5 members. Is there anyway alert on up/downs now?
I haven't looked in a few months, but there should be an 'availabilitystate' metric in the f5 tables of the database. (f5_pools and f5_virtualservers)
Shouldn't be too hard to get a Custom SQL alert on those.

There are virtual server and pool status oids in F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB. I have used the netscalar mib to create vip/server pollers and applied those to advance alerts.It is a bit of work but it does the trick.
I'm not sure that this would apply to F5s, but it looks like the same type of solution
Has this been released?
Yes, you should be able to create this kind of alerts in the latest NPM 11.5 RC.
Using this built in method is there any way to alert on a particular member of the pool? I don't see any events for 'member going offline' nor in the fields that would accomplish this.
Hi All,
I know its old thread but I want to know how to create an alert when 2 LTM devices are not synched up or time sync alert for LTM devices (when time sync is more than =>3 minutes alert should be triggered).
There is a out of the box alert in 12.1 that will alert when the H/A status changes.
You could set the alert to wait 3 minutes before sending an alert.
